Ball Joint question?

Ok so I am looking up ball joints for my truck and have decided to save me some cash for right now I am going to go with all MOOG (even though I like the Carli) They show 2 different ones for the upper available, one is like $75.00 the other has adjustable camber for $127.00. Which ones do I need? Truck is stock and no plans to change the suspension. thanks for any info.

I have an 04.5 & I had to buy the adjustable Moog. I found them on ebay for $100 each. Had them in a couple of days.
Although.... my factory ball joints weren't adjustables that came off. Everyone at the parts store and Dodge told me I had to go with adjustables.

Changed myshelf. Not bad... just glad I don't do them everyday.

Thanks, at the parts store no one seems to be able to give an answer which one I need or why.

I put the adjustables in our '07 as well, just in case any issues with getting the alignment right show up somewhere down the road. There's differing opinions on increasing caster to ward or DW and whatnot involved with lifts, tires, yada, yada.

Just got new upper and lowers from Rockauto.com for $335 shipped. Moog adjustable with grease fittings....OEM about the same price w/out the grease fittings.....Seems like the way to go
